How is it that you lose suspension travel by installing the Koni's?
From my understanding you can correct the traction issues on a lowered car by adding upper and lower control arms. Also all lowering springs are not created equal. Some are just made for lowering the car period. Some are made for all around handling improvements and others are made for drag racing. In my opinion. Giving up 1" to 1.5" of travel lowering the car with a handling spring is worth it for the improvements on the track.
Coil over systems are to expensive and that is a major factor why most people to not go that route. The Cortex video where they do a full suspension upgrade on a Mustang is worth watching.
Those MM RT springs aren't what I'd call daily driver springs. 1.8/1.9" drop is too much for me and quite a few others. I'm tied up between Ford P springs and Steeda Sprorts. I want to stay around 1" drop and planning on Koni yellows. I don't think you can do much better for a daily driver that might visit a road course.
I think he means you lose the stock travel length, you don't actually lose suspension travel but the Koni's are 1 inch shorter than the stock shocks so when lowered an inch you actually still get the correct amount of travel.

What shocks are were you on and what was the difference between the p's and Steeda sports? Thanks!
